Movement to allow them on campus is hypocrisy

Proposing bills to allow concealed weapons to be carried on the UNR campus would be laughable if it weren't complete madness. It is also blatant hypocrisy.

The claim from the proposing legislators that the "freedom" to carry guns on campus would make the campus safer has no basis in reality. If it were true, then why is it illegal for the public to carry firearms in to the very same legislators' place of business (the Legislative Building in Carson City)? Why don't university employees and students have the same right to be safely protected from the gun-toting public as do the legislators?
